111 MURDER CASE
GOTHAM POLICE OFFICER ON
TRIAL FOR ALLEGED MURDER
OF ROSENTHAL.
WHITMAN'S LIFE IN DANGER
Prosecutor Promises Chair for Assaa
\ sin of Zsllg Unless Hs
Confesses.
New York.—Two hundred and fifty
talesmen jammed the court room of
Justice Goff in the criminal branch
of the supreme court when Police
Lieutenant Charles Becker was called
to trial on the charge of murder In
the first degree for instigating the as
sassination of Herman Rosenthal, ths
gambler who was shot to death last
July.
In addition to these men, there was
another panel of 60 from which Jus
tice Ooff was to select a special grand
Jury of 23 to devote its time to the
Rosenthal investigations.
Motion by Attorney John F. Mcln
tyre of the defense presented at the
opening of the court that the trial be
postponed was denied by Justice Goff.
District Attorney Whitman assert
ed that he could prove bis charges,
despite the assassination of "Big Jack
Zellg," the gangster who was slain.
Zellg was to have been an Important
corroborative witness for the prose
cution.
Long before the hour set for the
convening of court the criminal
courts building wti surrounded by a
great crowd and police reserves from
two stations were added to those on
the scene.
Throughout the trial extra police
will be kept In the court room to pre
vent any gang outbreak such as has
been antedated ever since Jack Roße,
Bam Schepps, Harry Vallon and Lou
is Webber pledged their aid to the
prosecution. East Side gangsters are
declared by attaches of the district at
torney's office to have vowed to "get"
these men.
While Philip Davidson, alias "Bos
ton Red Phil," reiterated his story
that his murder of Zellg was on per_
sonal grounds and not connected with
the trial of Becker, District Attorney
Whitman was said to have evidence
showing beyond any doubt that the
"system" which brought about the
death of Rosenthal as he was aljout
to divulge graft secrets also .accom
plished the murder of Zellg to pre
vent his appearing as a witness
tgiilhit Becker.
In this connection It was learned
that Mr. Whitman had been threat
ened with death, and his every move
IN now being closely guarded by arm
ed detectives. These maintain their
vigil not only when the district at
torney is on the streets, but also al
his home and In his office.
ITALIANS ATTACK CITIZ ENS
One Man Shot by Laborers Working

river, after Imbibing a little too
much of tho "overjoyful," attacked a

A difficulty growing out of the

guns. They quickly retreated, taking
shelter behind buildings, rocks and

considered by the court as a fair
equivalent for the same offense In the
United States.

SUBMARINE-BOAT IS LOST
BRITISH SUBMARINE RUN DOWN
BY HAMBURG AMERICAN LINER
AND CUT IN TWO AT DOVER.
The Sixth Disaster to British Bub
marinea, Each Involving Loaa of
Prom 11 to IB Uvea.
Dover.—The British submarine B 2
was run down by the Ham burg-Amer
ican liner Amerlka here. It sank,
drowning fifteen of the crew. The
liner Amerlka appears to have cut
the submarine completely In halves.
Lieut. Richard I. Pulleyene was the
only man among the crew who wan
saved. He waa found floating in the
sea too exhausted to say more when
he was reacued than "The submarine
la out In two. 1 went down a mile."
The B 2 had left Dover harbor to
participate with the other submarines
In a series of maneuvers. Whon the
accident occurred none of the slater
submarines knew anything about It
Until Lieutenant Pulleyne was picked
up from the sea.
The liner Amerlka stood by after
the collision and threw life buoys
overboard while a number of torpedo
boats searched the sea for hours.
None of the other members of the
crew, however, was found.
The Amerlka then proceeded on
her voyage to Southampton on her
way to New York.
This Is the sixth disaster to British
submarines, each of them Involving
the loss of from 11 to IS lives.
The B 2 was one of the older and
smaller class of submarines, having
been built, with ten sister ships, be
tween the yeara 1903 and 1807. Her
length was 100 feet and her beam 12
feet 7 inches.
The second officer of the steamahtp
Amerlka said he was on the bridge
at the time of the collision with the
submarine "B 2." The submarine sud
denly came to the surface. An effort
was made to avoid collision, but too
late and the submarine broke in two
like a match.
Divers located the submarine In 20
fathoms of water and attached chains
to the wreck. They are hopeful they
will be able to raise her.
